[Graeme Wilson (inset) responds to The Times in a big way!]
Last Thursday, the Times of London published the results of an undercover investigation by one of its reporters, Tom Ball, who had spent enough time at the Church of Scientology’s Edinburgh “org” to confirm that it was, indeed, recruiting children from 13 to 16 to work as staff members, some of whom were away from their parents in East Grinstead, England and other distant locations.
This was some terrific reporting by Ball, and we figured that the church would, as is their usual custom, respond with attacks on him rather than addressing the problems brought up in his reporting.
That’s what is spelled out in Scientology’s playbook by founder L. Ron Hubbard about how to deal with nosy reporters. It’s by smearing that reporter and accusing them of crimes, so that no one will trust what they say.
That’s Scientology’s well-worn strategy — attack the reporter and his methods — but it’s really something to see this full letter to The Times from Scientology’s UK public relations man, Graeme Wilson.
We can’t wait to hear what is your favorite part!
